Fall Hors D'oeuvres Ideas

Autumn is a wonderful season full of a wide range of bright
colors and robust flavors. No wonder so many people ultimately choose
this captivating time of the year to hold their special events. The
foliage and various flavors of the season can be quite awe-inspiring.The Many Different Rich Autumn Flavors
Take
advantage of the fresh produce that is available during the fall to
plan your menu. You can start with hors d'oeuvres that complement the
crisp autumn air, such as bleu cheese mousse with figs on warm crostini.
Apples, which are abundant during fall, can be incorporated into a
number of hors d'oeuvre recipes. Apples are quite versatile and can be
used in both savory and sweet recipes.
For your next event,
consider serving spiced cider or pumpkin-flavored eggnog as drinks to
pair with your hors d'oeuvres. Complementing flavors add to the
enjoyment of not only the food, but the overall experience as well.
Fresh
fall fruits are another great option for a small plate you are serving
your guests. Grapes, pears and a variety of berries are all bursting
with flavor. Include a variety of different fruits to give your guests a
diverse range of choices as well as to create a vivid color palette.Soup and Nuts
As
the temperature starts to drop, signaling the beginning of longer and
colder nights, serving hot hors d'oeuvres will get you and your guests'
blood flowing and provide a warm contrast to the cold outdoors. Consider
miniature cups of butternut squash soup, or spicy corn and crab chowder
as great starters.
The scent of freshly roasted chestnuts is one
of the most popular aromas for autumn to winter. Toss in a handful of
other nuts that are very plentiful throughout the year, such as pecans
and walnuts, for a simple and flavorful hors d'oeuvre option.
Hors
d'oeuvres set the theme and mood of a great party. Whether you are
planning a simple get-together with close family and friends, or a large
event with many members of your family, friend group and business
acquaintances, start your gathering with a variety of elegant, light
hors d'oeuvre that put your guests in good spirits. If your party or
event falls during the autumn months, don't be afraid to use the colors
and the flavors of the season to inspire your menu. Take your cue from
Mother Nature and have a truly memorable, delicious and vivid event.
